Full job description

Self-Employed Dog Walker and/or Pet Sitter

Coalville (LE67) & surrounding areas

About the business

We are an established, professional dog walking service covering Coalville and nearby areas, with a strong reputation for reliability, compassion and high standards of care.

We specialise in one-to-one walks and home visits, supporting dogs who may be nervous, reactive, or simply not suited to group walks. Our clients value calm handling, consistency and trust — and we pride ourselves on providing exactly that.

The role

We are looking for a dedicated, self-employed dog walker to join our growing team.

Access to a car suitable for transporting dogs is essential for this role.

This is a hands-on, rewarding role for someone who genuinely enjoys working with dogs as individuals — not just walking them, but understanding them.

You’ll be trusted with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including those who need a confident, calm and experienced handler. No two days are the same, and the work is both physically active and mentally engaging.

Who this role is ideal for

This role would suit someone who:

Has hands-on experience owning dogs (essential)
Is confident handling large breeds and strong dogs
Is calm, patient and capable around nervous or reactive dogs
Enjoys working independently and managing their own time
Is reliable, professional and committed to high standards of animal welfare
Is looking for meaningful, flexible work rather than a standard 9–5

This is not a casual or “easy” job — but it is hugely rewarding for the right person.

Hours, income & flexibility

Typical hours: 10:00am – 2:00pm, Monday to Friday
Some flexibility can be offered where needed
Workload will build gradually as your client base grows

As this is a self-employed position, hours and income can vary week to week. This role is best suited to someone who has the flexibility to manage income variation.

Optional additional opportunity: Pet Sitting

For candidates who wish to increase their income, there is also the opportunity to take on pet sitting bookings.

This would involve caring for pets overnight in the client’s own home while owners are away, providing continuity of care and peace of mind. Pet sitting is entirely optional and can be accepted around your availability.

What we offer

A chance to join a well-established, respected local business
A growing client base built for you — no cold selling
Ongoing support, guidance and realistic expectations
Meaningful work with pets who truly benefit from specialist care
Flexibility and autonomy that comes with self-employment
The opportunity to grow with the business long-term

How to apply

If this sounds like a role you’d thrive in, please submit your CV along with details of:

Your experience with dogs
Any experience with large breeds and/or reactive dogs

We’re looking for the right person, not just someone to fill a space.

For the full job description and requirements for joining - please contact us by submitting your CV on Indeed or emailing [email protected]

Job Types: Part-time, Freelance

Pay: £14.00-£16.80 per hour

Application question(s):

Are you interested in Dog Walking, Overnight Pet Sitting - or both?
Do you understand that this is a self-employed role with no guaranteed hours or income per week?
Do you have a full UK Driving Licence and access to a car?
Do you have any relevant experience with reactive or nervous dogs? Please give examples if so.
